What exactly is the mission of the "tiny" DISTRO_FEATURE?  It doesn't
seem very wholesome for it to be enabling a random grab-bag of bits in
busybox (or anywhere else).  

If poky-tiny wants those features enabled then it can, and should, ship
its own configuration for busybox which turns them on.  I think that
would be better than further proliferation of switches in oe-core.
